I wanted to be in this cast. SO. BAD. I would have played a piece of scenery. Actually being cast was AMAZING, except that I couldn't share that giddy, terrified feeling with anyone!My character wasn’t introduced until the Second Act. So, I got to have equal experience as an audience member and actor. I thought I would sit through the whole First Act nervous and distracted, but I wasn’t. I was sucked in and in awe. I made chit chat through Intermission suppressing the glee that I was about to join this amazing, supportive cast, some of whom I had never met before. So, on the fourth line of Act II I took the stage and did one of the most joyously terrifying and immediate pieces of theatre I have ever done. IT WAS EVERYTHING I could have hoped for. The cast, the audience, the production team, the band… EVERYTHING. I’d do this again in a heartbeat.
